Follows

That is, see if it follows. This term is used by readers, compositors, and pressmen; by a reader or compositor when he ascertains that the first line of a page or sheet agrees with the last line immediately preceding it, and that the folios numerically succeed each other; on newspapers—particularly daily—it is generally used by compositors when taking up copy of the Parliamentary reporters. They call out for the preceding folio to what they have in hand; and, when answered, say, “I follow you.” The pressman merely ascertains that the first page of the inner forme follows the first page of the outer, or whether in working half-sheets he has turned his heap correctly.
